The girl with a single braid,
and the one who has seen the countries of the world,
every single zone and district,
she supposedly ruled them all!
Born in our very own Ambasamudram,
she even offered to buy the city of Mumbai!
Such a famed beauty, Jamuna,
has come to Chennai today, man!
She is going to teach classes for teenage boys!
A B C D, your father's beard!
I will teach you, listen up!
L for lady, hey clever rascal,
I will pour out lessons, learn them!
Hey boy calculating that five and three make eight,
you are an unripe guava that withered too soon!
Hey boy smacking your lips after eating cotton candy,
I will make you stand on the bench, so tuck your tail in!
Aisa aisakka, oy!
Ada maama maamamma, oy!
Aisa aisakka, oy!
Ada maama maamamma, oy!
Aisa aisakka, oy!
I will teach you, listen up!
L for lady, hey clever rascal,
I will pour out lessons, learn them!
Clusters of cashew nuts,
run all around like a fox!
Clusters of cashew nuts,
run all around like a fox!
The hardbound textbook,
you boys forgot to open it,
scoring zero after zero,
are you going to fry and eat them?
The hardbound textbook,
you boys forgot to open it,
scoring zero after zero,
are you going to fry and eat them?
Oh buddies...
Bunking class, using cheat sheets,
having wild fun,
you young rascals who came hunting for a new tuition center!
Stacking coin upon coin, crowding near me,
have you come to pay bundles of cash as tribute?
Sturdy young lad, in this grove of rolling pins,
are you coming to study the lesson or going to write the exam?
A B C D, your father's beard!
A B C D, your father's beard!
I will teach you, listen up!
L for lady, hey clever rascal,
I will pour out lessons, learn them!
A square, B square,
boiled field beans to eat!
History is a flower pattern,
settle down, you restless spirit!
Botany, botany, whoever studied it is starving!
Mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth,
just shut your mouth a little!
Aisa aisakka, oy!
Ada maama maamamma, oy!
Aisa aisakka, oy!
Ada maama maamamma, oy!
Malgudi, Mannargudi,
mister, hold my hand!
In the quarterly exam,
hold my feet to pass!
Hey, grab it, grab it, grab it, grab it!
Malgudi, Mannargudi,
mister, hold my hand!
In the quarterly exam,
hold my feet to pass!
Hey boy!
When the school bell rang, you were drooling,
you were dying to flirt with the girls!
Squatting in the milestone grove,
you knelt down and learned all your lessons!
One, two, three, four, man!
Board the aeroplane!
Tour all the unseen cities and then step down!
A B C D, your father's beard!
Hey, A B C D, your father's beard!
I will teach you, listen up!
L for lady, hey clever rascal,
I will pour out lessons, learn them!
Hey boy calculating that five and three make eight,
you are an unripe guava that withered too soon!
Hey boy smacking your lips after eating cotton candy,
I will make you stand on the bench, so tuck your tail in!
Aisa aisakka, oy!
Ada maama maamamma, oy!
Aisa aisakka, oy!
Ada maama maamamma, hoy!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song 'Vayasa Pasanga' (often stylized from Vayasu Pasanga) is a playful, high-energy dance track where a glamorous female teacher named Jamuna humorously reprimands and teases young, mischievous schoolboys. She boasts about her worldwide travels and urban authority while poking fun at the students' laziness, tendency to flirt, bunk classes, and fail exams. Through humorous rhymes combining school terminology (like ABCD, algebra, botany, and exams) with local Tamil slang and traditional folk games, she asserts control over her unruly classroom.

Metaphor

Comparing lazy/unripe students to spoiled guavas ('vembi pona goiyaa') and failure in exams to getting 'eggs' ('mutta mela mutta vaangi').
